Ive heard that appliacnes draw electrcitiy when they e not even on. Is that true?
Yes. The term for this is “phantom load.” Most appliances that use electricity, such as VCRs, TVs, stereos, computers, and kitchen appliances continue to draw a small amount of power when they are switched off. It is estimated that in the average home 75% of the electricity used to power home electronics is consumed while the products are turned off! Unplug appliances when not in use, or even easier, plug appliances into a powerstrip, and simply flip off the switch when not in use.
